Rating would depend on when you watched the movie. If it's 70/80's it will be higher. I watched it recently so wasn't very impressed. Atypical of those times exaggerated situations, sexist remarks , laughable action sequences. Feroz Khan was ok in parts but overall not up to his usual standards. The swag, style and crisp dialogue we come expect from him was missing. The "Clint Eastwood cowboy routine" looked fake in a Bollywood movie. So move on to some of his other movies.
After Sholay's success a lot of Curry Westerns were made.And Mr. Feroz Khan was the UNDISPUTED king of them.He was definitely inspired by Mr. Clint Eastwood's character in the Dollar Trilogy but he gave it his own touch.And hats off to Khan Saab for that. In Kaala Sona he's millionaire Rakesh who leaves the city life to hunt his father's killer Dacoit Poppi Singh(Prem Chopra)in the hills beyond No Man's Land(a sign showing this actually appears in the film,nice touch).Along the way he is helped by Shera(Danny),dressed like a native Indian and Durga(Praveen Babbi),looking very sexy. Shootouts,fistfights,double-crosses,only 4 songs and rapid fire editing make this a very fast and entertaining movie.It's a no nonsense show all the way and no time is wasted on any "faltu" senti scenes.Something exciting happens every 5 minutes. That's the kind of films I like!
